Wisconsin football: Russell Wilson is the second best player in the NFL

NFL Network finished up their annual ranking of the top-100 players in the league at the end of this past week and former Wisconsin Badgers (and N.C. State Wolfpack) quarterback Russell Wilson was named the No. 2 player in the whole league. Wilson is the fourth Badger on the list with Pittsburgh Steelers OLB T.J. Watt, Houston Texans DE J.J. Watt and New Orleans Saints OT Ryan Ramczyk.

Wilson only played one season at Wisconsin but it was probably the best season a UW quarterback has ever had.
